Beyond Riding: The Healing Power of Equine Therapy

I am very excited to share my new episode with you! You will discover the transformative power of equine-supported therapy in this insightful interview with Christina Marz, a psychotherapist based in Ecuador.  If you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or a lack of connection, you'll be amazed by the profound impact of interacting with horses.  Christina explains the crucial difference between recreational riding and therapeutic engagement, revealing how horses in a therapeutic setting can foster calm, balance, and compassion.  Learn about heart coherence and how the peaceful energy of horses can be transferred to you. We explore the unique benefits of equine therapy, especially for teenagers, and how it prepares individuals for deeper therapeutic interventions.  Christina also shares information about her life changing retreats in Ecuador, Costa Rica, Mexico and South Africa and her English/Spanish Udemy course, 'HeartMath Techniques for Horse People: a Dream Relationship', which teaches simple exercises to increase connection, safety, and equestrian performance.  Join us to uncover the surprising and healing effects of being around horses!
